Biological Activity

Description Proanthocyanidins (PAs), also known as condensed tannins, are a class of polyphenols found in a variety of plants. They are very powerful antioxidants that remove harmful free oxygen radicals from cells.
In vitro
In vitro Proanthocyanidins have also been shown to inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility. They have been shown to modulate the activity of regulatory enzymes including cyclooxygenase, lipooxygenase, protein kinase C, angiotensin-converting enzyme, hyaluronidase enzyme and cytochrome P450 activities[3].
In Vivo
In vivo Proanthocyanidins have been shown to play important roles in several biological processes resulting in health benefits. For instance, proanthocyanidins have been reported to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiproliferative, cardioprotective, hypolipidemic and antidiabetic activities. Proanthocyanidins induce a strong hypotriglyceridemic effect in experimental animals, in part by inhibiting VLDL secretion by the liver[1]. Animal studies demonstrate that proanthocyanidins reduce the plasma levels of atherogenic apolipoprotein B-triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and LDL-cholesterol but increase antiatherogenic HDL-cholesterol. Proanthocyanidins are thought to be poorly absorbable and highly metabolized by gut microflora before absorption. They affects lipid metabolism and has important positive consequences on cardiovascular diseases[2].

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
